It [the recent Seattle earthquake] wasn't too bad, I was at work(the Fire Station) and the building started shaking. Went running outside and watched the ground heave for a little while. Power went out, no real damage evident while driving around. Had a bunch of calls for smell of natural gas,and a few chest pain calls. Everyone had to get on the road in their cars and get on their cell phones. So,with the traffic and the fact that the traffic lights were out, responding to calls was a little hectic for a while, but after about two hours everyone figured that the world was going to continue turning, and things got calm again. There was a big mess at the Safeway, the whole wine isle fell onto the floor- the only true tragedy that I was witness to. Other than
that, it was no real big deal.

I seem to recall seeing a photo on the list showing some company's workshop.  In that photo were many rotors (dozens) stacked to what appeared to be about 8 feet high.  I don't suppose that company was in Washington State?  Man I certainly hope not...

Yes that was Hayes Rotary Engineering in Redmond. I wonder what it looks like now?
